Charlie on the Open Thread notes the BBC's own chart showing the funding for its charity arm Media Action. The latest figures on its summary page are for 2017-18. It's very interesting who funds BBC Media Action:
Other grant income - £6.6m
Donations from individuals and companies incl. gifts in kind - £5.7m
Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) - £5.5m
Department for International Development (DFID) - £3.8m
European Commission - £2.7m
Gates Foundation - £2.2m
UNICEF - £1.6m
Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency - £1.3m
UN Development Programme - £1.3m
British Council - £1m
USAID - £0.9m
BMB Mott Macdonald - £0.8m
UN Population Found - £0.8m
Global Affairs Canada - £0.7m
US State Department - £0.5m
It's intriguing that £12.3m comes in under 'Others'.
There's a later, more detailed breakdown on Media Action's 2018-19 annual report - which, if I read it correctly, suggests some shifts in funding from one year to the next and gives some account of those 'Others' (click to enlarge):
